When folded up does this rack obscure a Jeep Grand Cherokee's rear view backup camera's view?

When folded up, this rack does NOT obscure the rear view. However, depending on the size of the spare tire, it may not fold up as designed.

I have a Volkswagen Jetta and I barely see the Saris rack come up over the trunk lid when it is folded up.

Great question! I have a Pilot and my rear-view camera is above the license plate and yes, it is obstructed. Usually the rack is loaded with bikes and most of the rear view is obstructed as well. I didn't noticed the the rear-view camera was obstructed until now that I specifically checked. The bikes are very stable on the rack and it is easy to load and unload them. The only complaint I have about it is that the rear door can't open when the rack is full, or folded. Still, I love this rack and I highly recommended.

Yep, works just fine. are you worried about intererrence? Only the back of folded rear seats are uncovered when this occurs.

The ramp will fold down flat on the rack and is secured to the rack with a strap. The rack does not fold up to the vehicle when not in use. This is a great product. I use mine all the time.

My Mazda CX5 has a "spoiler" on the top of rear hatch. The rack does not interfere. Look at a Mazda CX5 and see if yours is the same. Or go to Thule.com

No, it does not for the rear camera. I suppose you can fold back half of the sleeve to expose the camera.

No, first of all you won't be able to see, and I'm sure the straps won't hold it on during driving time. I use it just while it's being stored,and from the inside getting wet!

I have an SUV but the rack folds down to provide access. When folded down, the rack is about 10 inches higher than the hitch receiver, if that helps.

I'll answer as best I can as the question isn't very clear. It's a top for a Jeep not a truck. If by fully exposed you are asking if the top comes all the way off or all the way down, yes it does. The top folds all the way back by the spare tire leaving the top and sides fully open, also the complete top unclips after being folder so that it is complete removed from the Jeep.

Back up only works when shifter is in reverse because it works off of the back up light circuit. A rear view is wired off of the ignition circuit soIt can be viewed anytime the vehicle is being operated

You can open the trunk with it on. It is very light. If your backup cam is mounted above plate it will not interfere. I have 2015 altima and it works great. No interference.

To the best of my knowledge it does not. Yes there is a fold up, but not a tilt away. If you are getting into a trunk it seems like you would still be able to do that since it lifts straight up. My SUV has a door that open out so with bikes on and no tilt away you can't open that back tailgate. With bikes off, no problem with access. Careful using this rack with Mt. Bikes. The shocks and fat tires are not a fit for this rack.

It works just fine for looking out. I've been using it with my dashcam for awhile now. It is just put up with the flip tab facing toward the front of the car, opposite to the view in the product image here.

We have a Grand Cherokee Jeep SUV. No issues at all. I can see out of the bank window with no obstructions.

it might be it has a wire for backup camera and we put it in a 1973 dodge pickup, had a wire to touch it and say there was something behind us..i couldn't tell you, you'll have to contact the company on that.

Yes. I'm currently using this one: Car Rear Vehicle Backup View Camera (Waterproof)

It doesn't hide mine, but I've seen someone have their plate tied to their trailer in the up position. They probably switch it for each position.

Installed this on my 2014 Honda Pilot with sensors and camera. No problems. So no it does not interfere with either system. Good reference point when you're back up. It sticks out about 6 inches. You can see the hitch step on your display when backing up so no worries you'll hit the other car or something.
